Chapter Nine

FOR THE past eight years, I’d spent most of my waking hours trying not to think about sex. The past few days, I’d been able to think about little else. Everything I heard, saw, smelled, or touched somehow reminded me of Tanner. And all it took was him passing through my mind for the rest of my body to respond with a vengeance. In less than one week, I’d had more orgasms with him than I’d ever had with any other person.

Daytime was pretty much as it always had been. I went to work. I went to class. Then I came home, and the second the door clicked shut, Tanner and I were in our own world. A world I liked. A lot.

When Tanner said he wanted to come with me to the Communion, I thought he was kidding. Why anyone would subject themselves to that was beyond me. I mean, being at the church would be awkward enough, given how Tanner and I had spent nearly every free moment of our time together. But my parents’ house? Full of relatives and neighbors? Everyone asking questions about who he was and when was I going to come home with a girlfriend? I wasn’t sure I could deal with that. I also wasn’t sure what it would be like to be around Tanner for that amount of time when we couldn’t touch one another. And touching was something that definitely couldn’t happen with anyone from my family around.

I still hadn’t given him an answer by Saturday night, so he asked again. While we were in bed. Foul play. There hadn’t been a single thing he’d asked with his hands on my body that I’d been able to say no to. Not one damned thing.

“Well,” he asked in between kisses, his breath warm as he nipped my neck, “are we both going?”

I closed my eyes, trying to think straight, but the rhythm of his hand rubbing back and forth against my arm made that impossible. “Do you have any clue how boring this will be? Not to mention that my family isn’t exactly laid-back. You’ll hate it.”

“So? You have to go.”

“Right. Have to. I don’t have a choice. You do.”

“Well, I choose to get to know your family better. Unless you don’t want that.”

The underlying hurt in his voice made my stomach roll. It was so much more complicated than he made it seem. “I just don’t want things to be….”

“What?” He slowed his hand and pulled back enough to look at me. Those dark eyes didn’t do anything to make it easier for me to focus. “What are you worried about?”

Loaded question. What wasn’t I worried about? “I don’t know. Questions. Them doing or saying something stupid. Arguing. Someone… noticing.”

“Noticing what?”

“You know. Us. The way we are now.”

Tanner grinned. “Don’t worry. I think I can play the role of roommate and manage to keep my hands off you for a few hours of a religious family event.”

My face tingled. “I know.
